Report: LeBron James Is Not Happy

USA Today’s Jeff Zillgitt has an unsurprising report about how LeBron James, who will be a free agent next summer, is currently feeling about how the Cleveland Cavaliers’ offseason has unfolded. He’s apparently not very happy about it....

Terry Francona Underwent Heart Surgery, Will Not Manage All-Star Game

LeBron James Has Gone Full Vacation Dad

If you’ve ever been on a vacation at a tropical resort, you’ve seen a Vacation Dad. He’s the guy who is sitting alone at the poolside bar, a little buzzed, smoking his annual cigar—he was sent to the bar by his wife who didn’t want him smoking that crap around her—really enjoying the music, and eage...

Report: Just Some More Evidence That Dan Gilbert Is Truly, Grossly Cheap

Cleveland Cavaliers owner and predatory lending magnate Dan Gilbert has shown repeatedly that he is nothing if not miserly. It’s been widely rumored and loosely reported for weeks now that his stinginess was to blame for letting the team’s former general manager, David Griffin, walk last month; a ne...

José Ramírez Is For Real

José Ramírez’s offensive breakout last year was much-needed for Cleveland, helping the team come within a few outs of a World Series title in a season they spent almost entirely without their most productive position player. It also didn’t seem particularly sustainable—a young player whose bat had n...

Cleveland Falls Behind 9-2, Erupts For 15-9 Comeback Win

The Rangers gave Cole Hamels a very, very comfortable cushion of run support in his return from a two-month stint on the disabled list. Elvis Andrus hit two home runs, Adrian Beltre and Joey Gallo each added another, and Texas had a 9-2 lead after the top of the fourth inning....

Reports: The Cavaliers Might Have Been Close To Getting Paul George

The NBA offseason is the best and wildest of all sports offseasons, and by a long shot. Even the deals that don’t get made are endlessly fascinating. To wit: In some parallel universe, a three-team draft-night trade got done that sent Paul George to Cleveland and Kevin Love to Denver....

The Cleveland Indians Are Finally Dominating Again

After sitting at .500 two months into the season, Cleveland baseball might be back to where we expected at the start of 2017. In the midst of a six-game winning streak, the bats are absurdly hot, the pitching is strong, and once again this team is the clear favorite to win the AL Central....

Dan Gilbert's Going To Fuck This Up Again, Isn't He?

Barring catastrophic injury or disaster, the Cleveland Cavaliers have a very good chance of returning to the finals next season, because the East is a bunch of cupcakes and having LeBron James is an excellent head start. Beyond that is unclear, as James has a player option for the 2018-19 season, an...

Run, Don't Walk, To Trade For Jimmy Butler

The Golden State Warriors have been champions for one week, and the rest of the NBA is already scrambling to get in position to beat them next year. The Cavs have spent the past few days on a nonsensical roller coaster, flirting with soon-to-be ex-Pacer Paul George then self-immolating and stunting ...

Cleveland Cavaliers To Part Ways With General Manager David Griffin [UPDATED]

With the team at the center of trade rumors—not to mention three days before the draft—the Cavaliers have decided to part ways with general manager David Griffin....

Who Is Running The Cleveland Cavaliers?

Paul George has reportedly told the Indiana Pacers that he plans to leave the team next summer and sign with the Lakers. The Pacers should obviously try to trade George before the end of the season, but any non-Lakers team that acquires him would do so knowing that they are likely getting a one-year...

LeBron James Is Glad To Be In Draymond Green's Head

Draymond Green and LeBron James had a bit of a back-and-forth yesterday, and the good-natured ribbing ended with Green taking a shot at James during his speech at the Warriors’ victory parade, much to James’s delight....

Carlos Carrasco Is An Artist, And This Baseball In The Image Of José Ramírez Is His Masterpiece

Draymond Green Finally Gets T-Shirt Revenge On LeBron, Gets Owned Anyway [Update]

The last time the Warriors won a title (the year before they blew a 3-1 lead in the NBA Finals), Draymond Green got tipsy at the team’s victory parade in Oakland. He mocked the Cleveland Cavaliers by rapping “Cavaliers? Nope. We won? Yupp. They suck? Yupp. We here? Yupp. They not? Nooope.”...

Myles Garrett Is (Still) Hurt

The Browns, impressively, did not screw up their draft, taking DE Myles Garrett with the first overall pick. But offseason activities have barely begun and already there may be reason to worry....

Iman Shumpert Makes Me Real Sad

Exactly midway through the second quarter, well before Game 5 had drifted out to a place beyond hope, LeBron kicked the ball out for a nice open three, as LeBron likes to do. The pass might’ve been a few inches low, but still left this teammate plenty of time to beat Kevin Durant’s scrambling closeo...

Kevin Durant Did What He Came To Do

A basketball team with the two best shooters in the world, the best pure scorer in the world, and the most versatile and fearsome defender in the world just won the NBA Finals. They did it while absorbing some of LeBron James’s best punches, and as awe-inspiring as a 16-1 romp through the playoffs m...

The Warriors Are Victorious

It seems, in retrospect, absurd to think that this game was ultimately decided by single digits. There was never really a point in the second half of Game 5 when it seemed reasonable to believe that Cleveland could win—this was only ever Golden State proving that this team is as historically great a...

Ahh, It's Beautiful

David West’s passionate moment with Tristan Thompson touched us all....
